Akova
AKoVA believes that wherever your heart is, that’s where you’ll find your treasure… and audiences all over Australia now know that AKoVA’s music comes straight from his heart. Formerly of Triple J favorites Shoebox, this multi-faceted multi-instrumentalist is one of the most unique performers in Australia. Dubbed by music media as ‘The Rhythm King’, he enthrals audiences by combining vocals, guitars, ukulele, cajon, djembe, ankle bells and an assortment of other percussive instruments (often all at once!). AKoVA brings an inspiring vibe to every performance - whether in a café or at a festival. His quirky nature is enticing - an experience for the eyes, feet ‘n’ soul. You just cannot help but feel AKoVA‘s energy lift the whole audience… and he’s always open to a hug or a chat after a show. “This guy is sic!” -Ash Grunwald |
